Application fued september 2s, i923.' serial No. 665,281@

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, HARRY E. SOREF, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of the city of Milwaukee, county ofMilwaukee, and State of VVisconsim have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combined I-Iasps and Locks; and I do declare thefollowing to be a clear, exact, and complete description thereof, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which the invention pertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the acompanying drawingas illustrating a constructional form in which my invention has beenembodied.

The invention relates to that class of hasp fasteners for swinging outerdoors in which `the lock is constituted as a part of the permanentstructure, so that it cannot be misplaced or accidentally detached, andwill always be in position for immediate operation.

The advantages of such a construction are recognized, and my inventionresides in an improved locking device of simple construction andeconomical manufacture, in that no special lock needs to be manufacturedin order to adapt my invention to its intended purposes. On thecontrary, the lock used may be any stock lock having a swiveled shacklepost upon which the lock casing and its locking mechanism are adapted torotate.

The novelty of my invention will be pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation showing my improved fastening device inlocking position.

Fig. 2 is a like view showing the parts separated so as to permit thedoor to be opened.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view through the device, showing thepreferred construction.

Fig. 4 is a like view showing a modification in some of the details.

In the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates a portion of a hinged door, andthe numeral 11 a portion of the adjacent door casing. A hasp 12 of usualformation is attached by blind screws to the door, and a plate 12 to thedoor casing in alignment therewith. Any usual padlock 13 having aswiveled post 14 forming a shackle is employed in my invention. The post14 is cut at a point outside of the lock casing so as to leave astraight projecting end, which latter enters a perforation in the plate12 and is firmly secured therein. The plate will be provided with anembossment or bushing 15, surrounding the end of the post, to betterretain the latter in proper position, that is, perpendicular to theplate to which it is attached.

A pin 16 is fixed in a recess in the plate 12', with its free end inposition to engage the recess 17 in the face of the lock casing, usuallyentered by the end of the shackle, so that when in locking position, thelock casing cannot be rotated upon the post until after movementlongitudinally of the post is effected or permitted through operation ofthe locking elements by the usual key. At such time, the lock casingwill be free to slide along the post 14, and rotated so as to disengagethe pin 16 from the recess 17. The lock casing may then be partiallyrotated upon the post so as to permit withdrawal of the hasp, and thedoor to be opened. The perforation in the iiap of the hasp is entered bythe pin 16, and held thereon by the lock casing.

In Fig. 4 a modification is shown, in that the pin 16 is omitted fromthe plate 12', and a pin 18 set in the recess in the lock casing, suchpin 18 being adapted to enter the recess in the plate, and operate inthe manner before described to hold the lock casing against rotationupon the post 14 until permitted to do so by operation of the key.

The structure is compact and when in place the lock is secured in fixedposition for immediate operation. Such arrangement has proven a greatconvenience.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, is:

1. A fastening device comprising a hasp and a plate for attachment oneto a door and the other to its casing, a post attached to the plateperpendicular thereto and supporting rotatably thereon a lockingmechanism for holding the hasp upon the plate.

2. A fastening device comprising a hasp and a plate. for attachment oneto a door and the other to its casing, a post attached to the plateperpendicular thereto and a lock rotatably supported upon the post, andmeans between the lock and plate for holding the hasp in position.

3. A fastening device comprising a hasp and a plate for attachment oneto a door and the other to its easing; a p .lostip:3k1;t;e{djin` theplate and a lock slidable an `rotatable upon the plate, and means`between theP ll and plate for holding the hSp in' p'oiftoh; 7

4. A fastening device comprising a hasp and a plate for attachment one'to "oo and the other to its casing, a post suppQntel on the plate and alock ysli'la'flol'e vand 'iotathle' upon the nest, and meen? 999mb@.velate for gegilg talfiock-t @le @hast in w pos n. y
